Lima is the capital and the largest city of Peru. It was also the location of a major Kaiju attack and the location of the second major Shatterdome constructed by the Pan Pacific Defense Corps.

History

2016

Following the construction of Hong Kong Shatterdome, Lima began construction of their own Shatterdome. The construction of the building was prompted by the May 2016 attack of the Category II Kaiju Onibaba in Tokyo, Japan. Director of Finances Francisco Gutierrez reported to Ramon Rodriguez that shareholders were willing to part with $19,647,000,000 CLP to ensure its construction.

The Shatterdome opened on August 9, 2016 and was designed to protect the Western and Southern Hemisphere. The Mark-2 Jaegers Diablo Intercept and Solar Prophet along with the Mark-3 Jaeger Matador Fury were later established as the Shatterdome's Strike Group.

Undated Kaiju Attack

At some point between 2020 and 2024, Lima is attacked by a Kaiju and a Jaeger is deployed to stop the creature from destroying the city, with the Jaeger being destroyed mid-combat.

2024

The Lima Shatterdome was shut down a year before the end of the Kaiju War on Oct 18, 2024. It was reportedly sold to the Peruvian government as a consequence.

Trivia

• Pacific Rim suggests that Horizon Brave was the Jaeger destroyed in Lima, but Travis Beacham says the scene in the film doesn't necessarily confirm this as it would be a potential spoiler.
• Lima is located in the valleys of the Chillón, Rímac and Lurín rivers in the central coastal part of the country overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
• Lima was a major setting in the original script of Pacific Rim.
